I've created a parser that returns an
object based on a xml document.
example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<country name="sweden">
<city name="stockholm">
<user>Adam</user>
<user>Eve</user>
</city>
<city name="göteborg">
<user>God</user>
</city>
</country>
<country name="usa">
<city name="new york">
<user>Clinton</user>
<user>Bush</user>
</city>
</country>
generates the following object structure:
[country] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => sweden
[city] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => stockholm
[user] => Array
(
[0] => Adam
[1] => Eve
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => göteborg
[user] => God
)
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => usa
[city] => stdClass
(
[name] => new york
[user] => Array
(
[0] => Clinton
[1] => Bush
)
)
)
)
Here is the code:
class XMLParser {
var $path;
var $result;
function XMLParser($encoding, $data) {
$this->path = "\$this->result";
$this->index = 0;
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create($encoding);
xml_set_object($xml_parser, &$this);
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, 'startElement', 'endElement');
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, 'characterData');
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, true);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
}
function startElement($parser, $tag, $attributeList) {
$this->path .= "->".$tag;
eval("\$data = ".$this->path.";");
if (is_array($data)) {
$index = sizeof($data);
$this->path .= "[".$index."]";
} else if (is_object($data)) {
eval($this->path." = array(".$this->path.");");
$this->path .= "[1]";
}
foreach($attributeList as $name => $value)
eval($this->path."->".$name. " =
'".trim($value)."';");
}
function endElement($parser, $tag) {
$this->path = substr($this->path, 0, strrpos($this->path, "->"));
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
eval($this->path." = '".trim($data)."';");
}
}
enjoy! And please make it better if you can ;-)
